Refn wouldn’t go into plot details, but did talk about the tone – “I’ve always wanted to make a movie with lots of sex. So I wrote this story called, ‘I Walk With The Dead’ and it takes place in Miami and its just going to have a lot of sex in it.”

Refn says both it and his Thai-set Western “Only God Forgives” are being funded by French investors, with the latter’s funds “just sitting there waiting for him”. As a result he’s likely to make these two in his own time and shift them around his schedule depending upon the demands of other projects.

‘Forgives’ was already pushed back from a shoot this Summer so that Refn could take the reigns of the Ryan Gosling-led crime-noir “Drive” which kicks off filming this Fall. He also remains attached to direct an untitled heist film which Gore Verbinski will produce.
